We have had the pleasure of using David’s services for multiple searches, most recently for our SVP of Leadership and Innovation. He has helped us find and engage top-flight candidates by understanding our current state, future needs and culture. All of this has been in the most timely of fashions and with the utmost professionalism. Our team enjoys working with David and he has helped all of us to think critically about asking the right questions to achieve fit.

Bruce Siegel, MD CEO, America’s Essential Hospitals
David Gorstein was very successful in identifying outstanding candidates for leadership positions in our newly formed Value Institute. He was highly effective in assisting our Search Committee, not only in identifying such candidates, but also in facilitating on-site visits that in 2 instances led to successful recruitments. I was impressed with the broad scope of professionals that he identified and made available as potential candidates for our new positions. I also appreciated his expertise in assisting our Search Committee with candidate assessment and recruitment strategies for the top candidates. I can very confidently recommend David as a trusted partner in recruiting well qualified candidates for professional leadership roles.
Timothy J. Gardner MD, Christiana Care Health System

Besides being an astute business and healthcare professional, David is a great person. He’s genuine, has a great sense of humor, great vision about our industry; he’s honest, selfless, and has an incredibly gifted eye for talent. He was absolutely critical– an indispensable partner to me– during the turnaround of the IT department at Northwestern. And when I use the term “partner” I mean it quite literally. Many of the people he helped me hire for the turnaround have now moved on from Northwestern and progressed their careers into positions of leadership across the US. I am deeply grateful for his contributions to my success as a CIO

Kit Gorton, MD, EDS, an HP Company

David was the recruiter who’s company was engaged to hire me for my original employment with Matria Healthcare, Inc. in 2005. In my dealings with him, he was always professional, and responsive, and he periodically checked in even after I was hired to confirm a correct placement. I wish him well in his new venture now.

David has been a great partner in finding and bringing bright people to our attention that he feels can make a difference in our organization.

Dr. David Gorstein is absolutely the nation’s leader in health analytics and value initiative executive search.

Robert London, MD, ikaSystems, Inc.

If you’re looking to hire within healthcare informatics — from analysts to executives — don’t waste your time elsewhere. Although there are certainly bigger shops out there, they aren’t staffed with a physician (!) who has deep understanding of informatics and the underlying analytics — and with this, he can find you the best people.

Michael Cousins, Cigna

David is a results oriented, highly motivated, expert in the healthcare payer/vendor marketplace. He understands the delivery system, and the requirements for success in the placement of senior professionals. You will enjoy working with him, and the speed with which he uses his network to fill your senior clinical positions.
